THE meeting called for this evening In
the interests OF the City's prosperity
should be well attended. There Is every
encouragement, save in the lugubrlous
whines of our mossback contingent, TO
put San Antonio's best foot foremost
and make this country, from New York
to Nebraska, fully Informed OF our adj
yantages. That we have natural i'd
vantages and business prospects which
would attract the attention and Invest
ments OF thousands, determining then
final location here and building up our
city rapidly, is a fact which is unques-
toned. The thing needed Ia to make
these advantages known, and that Is
lust the object OF this meeting called for
tonight. Every business man who cares
as much for the growth OF the city as he
does for a margin on Il small bill OF
goods should be present and Interest
himself personally In the work OF adj
vertising this city. The newspapers
have perhaps been too selfish In this
matter and have not allowed other peo-
pie a chance to take hand in II. NOW
Is the time for other people to step In.
Three newspapers cannot carry whole
town this dry weather without getting
tired. The citizens of San Antonio are
asked to meet tonight to devise ways
and means Of putting our city squsrely
before the people of this country and
inducing immigration to this section.

A Word About CataTrh.

ut is the mucous membrane, that wonder
full semi-huid envelope surrounding the deli
cate tissues of the air and food passages, that
Catarrh makes its stronghold. Once CstaD-
ished, it eats into the very vitals, and renders
life but Il lOng-dTawn breath of misery and
disease, dulling the sense of hearing, tram
melting the power of speech, destroying the
faculty of smell, taintng the breath, and kill
ing the refined pleasures of taste. lnsidiOus-
ly, by creeping on from simple cold in the
head, 1t assaults the membranOus lining and
enveOps the bones, eating through the deli
cate coats and causing Inflammation, slough
ing and death. Nothing short of total eradi-
cation will secure health TO the patient, and
all alternatives are simply pTOcrastinated suf-
ferings, leading to a fatal termination. SAN
FORD's RADICAL CURE, by Inhalation and by
Internal administration. has never failed;
even when the disease has made frightful in
roads on delicate constitutions, hearing
smell and taste have been recovered and the
disease thoroughly driven out"
SANFORD'S RADICAL CURE consists of one
bottle of the RADICAL CURE, one box Ca
TARRHAL SOLVENT, and one IMPROVED In
HALER, neatly wrapped in one package, with
full directions; price, $l00.

GEORGIA has side-tracked herselfwOIse
with this Glenn bill than she has been
since Sherman marched down to the sea.
Her own journals being the judges the
whole force of the bill was aimed at the
little university for colored people at
Atlanta. Aimed at that to deprive 1t of
the services and advantages Of few
white teachers who were self-sacrifiGing
enough to devote themselves to the in
struction Of colored youths. No more
contemplate act has been perpetrated
since Connecticut did the same thing
fifty years ago to break up colored in
stitution in that wooden nutmeg state.
1t is no credit to Georgia to file claim in
the court of public opinion to the cast
off clothes Of q Yankee prejudice dis
carded half century since. The great
state of Georgia putting the whole brain
work of a state Legislature In pawn to
bankrupt the teaching credit of little
Niger" university. Is it by such deeds
as shis that this mighty commonwealth
expects to write her name on the rolls Of
progressive states, and be reokoned
among the advanced commemorative Of
the new south? Let it be distinctly I'M
derstood-there is no question OF COL
ored children in white schools at stake.
That matter is settled. The act is
passed to drive white teachers from this
university and thereby break up its
Glasses. For this and for no other pur-
pose. Write it down SO, and make the
tiers large and plain"

The horns are being sawed of and
brass tipped ready for the next state
convention of the democratic party OF
Texas. Speaker Pendleton has shipped
q cargo Of brass knobs and is ready to
supply all the primaries. His peace
persuaders are labelled, mo questions
asked about the 4th Of August vote"
This may be all very well for Pendle-
toms precinct but 1t won't wash In this
district. The democratic cattle in this
ranch are all genuine long horns, and
these horns are sharp for the conVen-
ton contest. These critters can smell a
prohibitionist as far as an Irish Orange
man can scent papist, and the knobs
that they will carry into the next con-
vention will not be on their horns. OF
this much the PendletOnisns can take
due notice and govern themselves
accordingly.

BABY HUMORS
And all Skin and Scalp Diseases
Speedily Cured by Cuticura.

Our little son will be four years of age on
the 18th inst. In May, 1885, he was attacked
with a very painful breaking out of the skin.
We called In physician who treated him
for about four weeks The child received lit
tie or no good from the treatment, as the
breaking out, supposed by the physician to be
hives in an aggravated form, became larger
IN blOtches, aud more and more distressing.
We were frequently obliged to get up in the
night and rub him with soda in water, strong
linments, etc. Finally, we called other ply
sicianS, until no less than six had attempted
to cure him, all alike failing, and the child
steadily getting worse and worse, until about
the 10th of last July, when we began to give
him CUTICURA RESOLvENT internally, and the
CUTICURA and CUTICURA SOAP externally, and
by the last August he was so nearly well that
we gave him only one dose of the RcsOlvent
about every second day for about ten days
longer, and he has never been troubled since
with tho horrible malady. In all we used less
than one half OF Il bottle of CutiCuTa RCsOlv
ent, little less than one box of CutiCuTa, and
only one cake of Cuticura Soap.

The English butterine makers produce
so fine an article that the dalrymen have

butter men have hard work to prevent
the milk ohurners from using their

ton OF tariff. An anti.soldier Union
